MLB Betting: Friday Best Bets
April 2, 2021
Joe Sheehan offers his best bet for Friday's short slate of West Coast games, with the matchup between the Angels and White Sox drawing his eye.
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Foster did not break camp with the White Sox last season but was summoned to the squad early in the campaign and soon became a key part of one of the AL's best bullpens. The right-hander appeared in 23 games (including twice as an opener), finishing with a 2.20 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. His sudden success was unexpected considering the fact that Foster had previously pitched only one moderately effective season at Triple-A, though he did enjoy a series of strong campaigns in the lower levels of the minors. His fastball peaks in the mid-90s and is complemented by a standout changeup that ranks as his best pitch. Foster's combined usage rate between the two offerings was over 90% in his rookie campaign, and opposing batters hit below .170 against each pitch. His strikeout and walk rates (28.4% and 8.3%, respectively) help validate his success and offer hope of more high-leverage opportunities next season.
